I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $300. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at Thane Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $300 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Attorney retainer: $235
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

10% there. I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies. Thank you.
Update from Thane: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
